A feature in today’s New York Times extensively explicates Earl’s story and character for the first time, exploring his notoriously difficult relationship with his mother (a law professor at UCLA), his hiatus in Samoa, and his future, which includes the surprising news that he has been given his own label, separate from Odd Future. It’s absolutely worth a read if you’re a fan of OF, or even interested in how a parent deals with their kid’s wild and sometimes scary success. Check out Earl’s notorious “EARL” video below.
